I worked as Joel's supervisor for a year. He is extremely patient, kind, and caring as a teacher to children he is working with. If my children were learning an instrument, I would want him as their teacher for sure! I would want someone like Joel who is nurturing and who is able to cultivate the love of learning in a fun, creative and authentic way. I do not only recommend Joel to anyone who is in need of a qualified teacher, but more importantly, I recommend him to anyone who is in need of a soulful and nurturing mentor.
